Have you seen the god with the golden erection? Pumps like a piston Putting holes in the heavens. Bringing stormy weather Making martyrs of women With the cross on the necklace As they cross the Louise Bridge Holding a weapon Saying "I got a confession, this here's a pistol and it ain't for protection. I'm storming the trenches, routing out heathens, my body's in limbo, once dry but now drenched up." The coppers want get me Well they gotta catch me But they are just seagulls And I am an eagle A bit of non-fiction That most of you reverends Cannot contend with That a host of us children Are born infidel-ly At the point of machete.

Oh my god, oh my love put a thistle in my crown just enough push and shove to make it hard for me to toil through the day without a frown in a town when you're down listen up you can't get up get ahead with your nuts and your business of defending offenders So instead I lay in bed all day half dead in wait For the blood of the thugs of the month to bury me and your before you or I come and knock each other's doors down with more sound than a hot round through a vest and invest or inject a half a heart into this rubble of a love what a mess we're in trouble unless or lest I guess we play press away impress you again

You came early in the afternoon Looking for a brother to look after you Swearing by your eyes there was imminent doom Raising up your eyes to the rest of the room Something tells me that you shouldn't be here Raising odd things that don't matter to you Stammering your answers when I ask em to you How come I never see you on the avenue? Has the pill crawled off your head? If anybody sees you on the rapid tube You think that they'd believe you if you wanted em to? You lost all your powers of conviction dude You lost all your powers of seduction too You've been snapping your fingers to a radio tune Clearing up your throat just so you can make room To fill it back up with a smoke from a fume Giving me a poke, man, you ask me for a pill to clear your head. d 

about

Every once in awhile time is needed to appreciate past achievements. Thus is the case for Winnipeg band Ultra Mega’s debut album. Originally recorded seven years ago and finally seeing the light of day this past March, the album paints a picture of the good, bad and weird in regards to life growing up in Winnipeg. Simply strummed chords over luscious soundscapes created from warbly guitars, well timed organ notes and eerie drones make this record only describable as psych-folk. JD Ormond’s gentle voice flows perfectly over the psychedelic backdrop while singing about crime, dead dogs, past romances and addiction. He manages to pay homage to the grimy aspects of his hometown making things that would turn your average person away seem endearing. One might never know why this record sat shelved for so long but thankfully Winnipeg label Transistor 66 were able to wipe away the dust to give us an album that isn’t dated. An album that is just as relevant today as when it was created. - Cups n Cakes podcast www.cupsncakespod.com

about

Ultra Mega Winnipeg, Manitoba

Much like their rural metropolis of Winnipeg, Ultra Mega shuffles on the crossroads of country and town, the horseman proud and mounted but disgraced by the fleeting conquests of the city. With delicate psychedelia, dreamy pop, and calm, cool lyricism, let Ultra Mega chaperone you through the glories, romances and defeats of the bittersweet knight. Get swooned! ... more
